2006 Honda Odyssey: jerking or lurching

Filed Apr 10, 2022 · Fuel system, Steering · MI

One main problem I have consistently noticed is signs someone other than me is getting in my car or leaving at least impression they did inside the car alot although I am the only one supposed to have a key. It was happening so much I paid Lafontaine Honda more than $1000 to change out the keys including the ignition but that hasnt resolved the problem. I still see normal evidence they are actually touching things inside my car and even stealing alot of fuel which they took so much last night it was ridiculous. I keep sending my local police reports and photos of as much as I can using the tipline and they never contact me back like they either ignoring, staying anonymous, or have no time to read my messages. They fuel is being stolen everytime I fill the tank by someone nearbye. The next issue is that there is a malfunction clearly feels like it is inside the steering wheel mechanics and not my tires that something or one is overriding the steering when I am on the freeway and highway jerking me in the direction of other vehicles when they start passing me like they trying to make them think I am threatening to hit them or threatening me to cause a collision. Exactly how it feels. They were even doing it to lyrics in the music while I was driving alot the whole trip there and back. The car seems very insecure. I see also that other people in like models cars locally are popping up on me like they have a gps on me and that is threatening. The steering wheels ignition switch was checked and I told them of the intrusion problems but they offered me no solution. Insurance is not helping me with repairs of anything and wont even offer me an option to get me discounts on car repairs or inspection help. I cant even report that type of stuff. Police also wont inspect a car but sends me away to a mechanic all the time. I think the previous owner may have modded a bunch of the parts but it is my car and should only be responding to me. Not others.

On multiple occasions the car would jerk violently when decelerating from 20 to 10mph. In addition, when driving from 25 to 40mph the car would shake violently s if was going to explode. Needless to say this was very unnerving and I did not feel safe with my family in this car. I took it to the honda dealer and was told my rear and front motor mounts were cracked and needed to be replaced. At the time the car only had 80k milres on it. Total cost was over $1,200. Ow, at 170k miles it is doing the same thing! Brought it to the dealer and they're telling me my motor mounts are cracked, again! I am extremely disappointed the federal safety agency has not made this a recall.

The power lift gate fell down on me; luckily no one was directly under it when it fell. It happened instantly; when I opened it up, it crashed down the first time. Upon further attempts to open it, it would slowly open and then jerk and then go back down. It will not stay open by itself. The local honda service center inspected it and said the struts had gone out on it and replaced them both. According to news feb 21, 2012, honda odysseys are being recalled for the same issue in march 2012; my 2006 model has done the same thing the news articles report.

My 2006 honda odyssey has a soft spongy brake pedal, often going lower than the accelerator while braking, allowing the brake and accelerator to be depressed at the same time, making it difficult to brake while the engine is racing. This problem causes the odyssey to lurch forward, and could quite easily cause an accident. My dealer refuses to acknowledge the problem.
